Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-26., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Ocean Acidification and Human Health [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020 The ocean provides resources key to human health and well-being, including food, oxygen, livelihoods, blue spaces, and medicines. The global threat to these resources posed by accelerating ocean acidification is becoming increasingly evident as the world’s oceans absorb carbon dioxide emissions.

Environmental Health Perspectives, 2011 The ocean helps moderate climate change thanks to its considerable capacity to store CO2, through the combined actions of ocean physics, chemistry, and biology. This storage capacity limits the amount of human-released CO2 remaining in the atmosphere. As CO2 reacts with seawater, it generates dramatic changes in carbonate chemistry, including decreases

Choice Reviews Online, 2012 Increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration is causing increased absorption of CO2 by the world’s oceans, in turn driving a decline in seawater pH and changes in ocean carbonate chemistry that are collectively referred to as ocean acidification. Evidence is accumulating to suggest ocean acidification may directly or indirectly affect many marine organisms

Ocean Acidification: An Introduction
EDIS, 2018 Ocean acidification (OA) generally refers to the ongoing decrease in ocean pH. Ocean acidification is caused primarily by the oceanic uptake of excess carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. Other impacts related to climate change (increased sea level

The Geological Record of Ocean Acidification
Science, 2012 Acid History As human activity continues to pump nearly 50-fold more CO 2 into the atmosphere than any existing natural sources, the oceans absorb it. Over time, this vast quantity of excess oceanic CO 2 is expected to decrease oceanic pH and have marked effects on calcifying marine

Effects of Ocean Acidification on Metabolism in the Blue Mussel Mytilus edulis [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesOcean acidification driven by global climate change is altering the marine carbonate system and posing increasing pressure on marine organisms. The blue mussel Mytilus edulis is an important species in intertidal ecosystems, and ocean acidification may ...
